UNITED STATES PATENT SIMON SOHEUER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SHAWL-STRAP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 384,395, dated June 12, 1888.

Application filed April 28, 1888. Serial No. 272,038.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SIMON SoHEUER, of New York city, New York, have invented a new and Improved Shawl-Strap, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a shawl strap of improved construction; and it consists in the various features of invention, more fully pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved shawl-strap. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section on line w :0, Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a vertical longitudinal section th rough one end of the shawl-strap. Fig. 4 is a crosssection through a modification of the clamp, and Fig. 5 is a face view of Fig. 4.

The letter (t represents the handle of the shawl-strap. To each end of this handle there is secured a bent plate of metal, I), which con stitutes at the same time the side of the handie and the frame ofthe buckle. The plate b is first bent at right angles to form the horizontal section b, is then turned back upon itself to form the double projection b, and is finally bent up to form the bearings b. The double projection I)", I deem of importance, first, as it gives strength to the hearing I), and, see ondly, as it permits the attachmentof the rigid cross-bar cl. This cross-bar is secured to the projection 0 preferably by punching a hole into the projection, passing the burr through a perforation of the cross-bar, and then upsetting it, as shown in Fig. 3; but the cross bar may also be secured by means of rivets.

The tongue or clamp c of each buckle I make U-shaped in cross-section, with shanks of equal length, as shown in Fig. 2. The clamp is pivoted by means of lateral projections between the parts b b of the buckle. Each of the two shanks of the tongue 0 is indented or corrugated at its edge, and each (X0 model.)

turned up to form a finger-piece, c, that fncilitates the operation of the clamp.

\Vhat I claim is- 1. The combination of a handle, a, with the bent plate I) Z), doubled upon itself to form projection b and hearing b and with the clamp c, pivoted between parts 12 I)", substantially as specified.

2. The combination of handle a with the bent plate I) b, doubled up to form projection 11 and hearing If, and with the clamp c, pivoted between the bearings 11 and b and with crossbar 01, such cross-bar being secured to the projection b substantially as specified.

3. The combination of handle a with buckleframes at the ends thereof, and with Ushaped clamps pivoted within the buckle-frames, and with the straps e, passing between the buckleframes and the clamps and engaged by both shanks of the clamps, substantially as specifled.

4. The combination of handle a with the bent plates 12, and with the crossbar d, secured to the projections b of plates 1) by means of upset burrs, and with the U-shaped tongues c, pivoted between the bearings b and If, and having finger-pieces c, and with the straps e, substantially as specified.
